Pornography Is Not the Acting Out of the Imagination
Anna Arrosmith is a pornographic film director who works under the pseudonym Anna Spann. She runs a campaign site for erotic workers called www.weconsent.org, which campaigns against moral panics and anti-erotic industry legislation. At 16 she believed what mainstream feminists were saying that porn degraded women. But one day she realized her anger was actually envy of men having their sexuality catered for in so many different ways,. In the late 1980s, women's sexuality was not catered for at all. I now work as part of a burgeoning feminist and queer porn industry, which is changing perceptions of sex on film.
